New information has surfaced online about a preliminary version of the Queen, who should become a playable character in the update Genshin Impact 7.3. This time, insiders talk about her enhanced reactions to Astral Scatter and describe in more detail Media’s place on the team with the Cryo Archons. All information is related to the leak and marked as “suspicious”, so their parameters may still change multiple times.
According to recent data, the Queen can provide multiple types of buffs at the same time to teams that pass Starscatter. Her base set mentions increasing the base reaction damage multiplier by 14%, while higher Constellation levels are said to unlock additional bonuses. In particular, C2 features a 30% reduction in enemy resistance and a 48% increase in attack power, while C6 has an additional boost – a separate damage multiplier calculated independently of the usual damage bonuses. However, the distribution of these effects among C0, C2 and C6 has not been conclusively confirmed.
Meanwhile, judging by the leaks so far, the Queen isn’t limited to just being supportive. In a team guided by starlight, she should play a more offensive role, while in a team spread out by starlight, her gear allows her to serve as a support role for extra damage. This is why the cryonic archon’s role can vary significantly between archetypes.
In addition, information about Mitya has also emerged. According to Leftshore, he also gained a certain amount of expertise while teaming up with Queen: Insiders describe him as a character who can serve as a support role to the Cryogenic Archon, while in his own team, through the Star Guide, Mickey is able to serve as the main source of damage.
His ability to quickly accelerate the rotation of the entire lineup is especially important for the Queens. According to published data, Mickey can generate five elemental particles through a single elemental skill, which helps speed up the preparation of the team’s summoning response. In order to fully activate such a combination, it is said that Danica and Odette with the “feather” mechanism are also needed. Sources separately stated that certain situations may be related to the use of Mitya elemental explosions.
As such, the current leaks paint a rather unusual pattern: Medea can be the main damage dealer on some teams, while next to the Czar, she can play a supporting role, helping her prepare her own damage quickly. However, the final role distribution and all values will only be clear after further changes in the 7.3 beta version.
